(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nTarget opened a new location in Bridgehampton, New York without its signature red exterior, adapting the facade to local aesthetic preferences, per Retail Dive.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): the store facade is not the brand — the inside is. Target proved that exterior design can flex by location without confusing the buyer.
